The Inspector General of Police, Joseph Boinnet, would like Kenyans to be aware of people using his name and image to defraud them on Facebook. There is a fake Facebook account impersonating the I.G and using the platform to engage in fraudulent activities. Whoever is behind the Facebook account is allegedly pretending to be in a position to award security tenders countrywide.
Although Facebook does not outlaw impersonation outright, it is illegal, hence criminal, to impersonate an important figure with the aim of using the fake identity to defraud unsuspecting users. The police are looking for the suspect
